Sometimes, internet drama may seem silly and it might be, but at many times do you really feel like it ever matters to you deeply?

Many times, a line is crossed, even online, that shouldn't be crossed. At times like these, it can cut deep.

Very true....I think some think that because they don't see someone directly, that feelings don't matter; but if you come to think of it, someone, whereever they may be, may be hurt by things said towards them and about them... I think we forget that when we are too busy cutting on someone or talking down about them to someone that eventually will pass on what was said about them.

It's just....I don't like when people use me. It wasn't here, but this past Summer I feel I have been in a way.

Very good points.

Another problem that can really affect someone is the hearsay factor. So many people online like to spread rumors as facts and smear the name of others when in fact they have no solid proof. I'm a firm believer that unless I hear it from someone myself, in person, with my own two eyes, from their own two lips, I believe nothing.

I think its reprehensible to pass assumptions off as gospel. Its hurtful, immature, unintelligent and wrong.

I know the feeling hun. And the best thing I've taken from these experiences is that I know now who are the real users and what signs to look for so that nothing like it ever happens again.

Oh I know.

It's like...I helped them, and really my skills were just being used for things they were too lazy to do or can't do but could....

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out in the world who rely on others to do their work for them.

Have you told this person how you feel?

Yes. Big loooong rant, said they would turn things around, didn't...and weeks later I was banned....

I'm sorry to hear about that daysfan.

I look at my life this way now when dealing with folks that like to try to stir me up and put me down:

I won't say one word; even if it hurts my pride and my feelings, I will simply pray on it and just try my best to move forward.

I have learned that even talking to someone that I think has my back isn't always good; because there are times when I get this 'sick feeling' where what I said in terms about myself is being discussed to someone else so they can dissect and tear about...

I'm a much happier person that I was a few months ago; and that's my goal; to be happy not for everyone else, but myself.

I know exactly what you mean. People think just because you're online that words don't hurt, well they do.

You and I know that all too well my close friend.

Daysfan,

I'm sorry you're having to deal with that crap. You and I talked about that briefly but I didn't know it escalated to that point. :(

*hugs*
